Speaker Nunziata, during the afternoon session of the meeting, thanked the Members of Council and advised the following:
Members, it's worth remembering that this is the largest municipal government in Canada. No other City or town council serves as many people -- or makes as many decisions on behalf of its community.
The City Clerk has provided to me a statistical summary of the past term. I thought you might be interested in the amount of work that this Council has accomplished this term.
Since our first meeting in December 2010 and up to the end of yesterday, City Council and its committees have:
• Met 686 times for 3,276 hours. • Considered 18,646 agenda items • Listened to 8,664 deputants • Received 22,967 emails and letters from the public
You have made 25,617 motions and we have conducted 8,364 recorded votes.
None of this happens without the support of many people. Earlier this week I had the opportunity to thank the City Clerk's Office staff who support Members in this Chamber, and me as Speaker.
There is a much larger supporting cast of course.
There are all the committee clerks and staff who manage the meetings of the community councils and the standing committees.
There are the AV staff who operate the cameras and sound equipment.
There are the housekeeping and facilities staff who make sure the committee rooms, civic centre council chambers and this Chamber are ready for our meetings.
There are our security officers who help keep order so that meetings can take place.
On Tuesday and Wednesday we had the opportunity to pay tribute to Joe and Brenda.
But of course, behind them are the men and women of the Toronto Public Service who support the decision making of this Council.
Many of them spend many hours attending meetings of committees and Council providing their best, professional advice to us, answering our questions, helping our constituents and serving the people of Toronto.
On behalf of City Council, I would like to recognize and thank all of the City Officials who help us carry out our duties.
We'll see you in December!
Speaker Nunziata, at the conclusion of the meeting, presented a gift basket to Ulli Watkiss, City Clerk and her staff and, on behalf of the Members of Council, thanked them all for their support and assistance during this term of Council. |

a - Review Order Paper August 25, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. – Speaker Nunziata advised Council of the following:
Members, before I review the Order Paper, I wish to rule on three items.
The first is Item EY35.12, headed "Request for Direction Report - 2800 Bloor Street West". I am advised that the amendments that were moved at community council were based on the wrong assumptions that there were already Section 111 and Section 37 agreements in place. I understand the Councillor is working with staff to come up with different recommendations. I am ruling the recommendations of the community council out of order, but the item will remain on the agenda as being "without recommendation".
The second item is Item NY34.81, headed "Final Report - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - 293 Viewmount Avenue". I have been advised that the applicant failed to put up the required sign on the subject property, and since proper notice has not been given, this item must be withdrawn and resubmitted with proper notice. I am ruling that item out of order. It will be withdrawn from the agenda.
The third item is Item TE34.212 regarding an appeal of a Committee of Adjustment Decision Respecting 26 Belvia Road.
This is an Etobicoke matter based in Ward 6 that was considered by the Toronto and East York Community Council in error.
Community Councils do not have jurisdiction on local matters outside their boundaries.
I am ruling this item out of order. I note however that Councillors Fletcher and Grimes have submitted MM55.13 which brings the matter back in the proper way, so City Council will have the chance to debate the matter.
Members, I will now review the Order Paper.
There are a number of related items on this agenda. It is proposed that they be considered together, as follows:
• Items HL33.4, PW33.15 and PW33.16 all concern lead in water pipes, and will be considered together. • Items EX44.26 and EX44.28 concern Toronto Police Services fees and will be considered together.
And
• Items TE34.9 and TE34.178 concern official plan and zoning amendments and heritage matters for 231 to 237 College Street, and 177-189 Huron Street and will be considered together.
Council is scheduled to meet in closed session at 6:00 p.m. tonight, if required.
Notices of Motions are scheduled to be dealt with at 2 p.m. tomorrow.
The City Clerk has noted the Items that Members wish to hold.
I will now go through the Items listed on the Order Paper to take additional holds. I will recognize requests to make matters urgent and time specific after I go through the Items for additional holds. Once the Order Paper has been approved by Council, any change will need a two-thirds vote. 1a - Motion to Amend the Order Paper moved by Deputy Mayor Norman Kelly (Carried) That City Council consider Item EX44.3 "Proposed Basketball Training Centre at Exhibition Place" as the first Item of business on Monday, August 25, 2014.
1b - Motion to Amend the Order Paper moved by Deputy Mayor Norman Kelly (Carried) That City Council consider the following Items as the first items of business on Tuesday, August 26, 2014:

City Council on August 25, 26, 27 and 28, 2014, adopted the following:
1. City Council request the Province of Ontario to:
a. through the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC), require Local Health Integration Networks (LHIN) to provide funding to housing organizations (or through community agencies to housing organizations) similar to that being piloted at 291 George Street with the Toronto Central LHIN and social agencies, reducing costs for emergency room visits, policing and for the Toronto Community Housing Corporation while also reducing the number of tenants being taken to the Landlord and Tenant Board;
b. increase funding for supportive housing;
c. through the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care or Local Health Integration Network, increase funding for existing supportive housing agencies operating in Toronto Community Housing Corporation space under an agreement. Increases would be based on a flexible model, if we could demonstrate that there is a spike in activity or supportive need based on agreed indicators; and
d. provide funding for building retrofits and new construction to increase sound-proofing in Toronto Community Housing Corporation buildings (to mitigate noise, a major anti-social behaviour issue).
2. City Council request the Toronto Police Services Board to consult with the Information and Privacy Commission and the Ontario Human Rights Commission in order to identify and address any privacy or human rights issues that may arise with respect to:
a. the creation an exception, under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA), for Toronto Police Service to share information with Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) regarding incidents on TCHC property; and

| City Council Decision Advice and Other Information |
During the review of the Order Paper on August 25, 2014, Speaker Nunziata ruled the Etobicoke York Community Council Recommendations for Item EY35.12 out of order as the amendments that were moved at Community Council were based on the wrong assumptions that there were already Section 111 and Section 37 Agreements in place. Speaker Nunziata advised Members that the Item would remain on the agenda as being "without recommendation". |

That the applicant will replace 10 residential affordable rental units as follows:
7 two bedroom units, and
3 three bedroom units,
all units to be replaced on site at affordable and mid-range rents to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director City Planning
and that the relevant sections of motion 1 be amended to reflect this requirement.

That City Council adopt the following recommendations contained in the report (August 1, 2014) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District:

Ruling by Speaker Frances Nunziata Speaker Nunziata ruled Item TE34.212 out of order as it is an Etobicoke matter based in Ward 6 that was considered by the Toronto and East York Community Council in error and, as such, Community Councils do not have jurisdiction on local matters outside their boundaries. Speaker Nunziata advised Members that Councillor Fletcher and Councillor Grimes have submitted Motion MM55.13 which brings the matter back in the proper way, so City Council will have the chance to debate the matter. |
